Sorry to go off topic, but something bothers me here. I started this thread about Delmas re-signing, but there isn't a single thread about Bush, Quin, Jones, or Houton signing. Why is that? I leave this board for a FEW MONTHS and nothing gets done right.

Honestly we've all been waiting for you to come back and clean everything up (and dirty up the off topic section).

Re: Lions re-sign Delmas

I'm sure they set the contract up the right way--that's Lewand's area, not Mayhew's anyways. If he stays healthy, we have a pretty intimidating safety combo!

Re: Lions re-sign Delmas

Yeah I saw that number and it has to be the total value of the contract IF Delmas stays healthy or IF he reaches certain playing time incentives. If it's just straight $5M a year it's a waste. Not that I'm not glad he's back but until he plays a full season he's not worth all that money.

While I appreciate your concern for my tardiness, working 8-12 hours per day, 6-7 days per week has something to do with it.

I would be willing to bet Delmas sees every penny of the deal. Even if he's hurt they're still going to bring him back for a 2014 campaign, unless they severely back-loaded the deal.

What's the guess on guaranteed money? I'm saying $4M with a low salary this year, say $1M, making his total cap hit this year $3ish, and $4M due next year. We'd save $2M cutting him next year, but we'll keep him because the possibility of having a "good" starting caliber S for cheap is "worth" $4M.
